Real estate open houses: Great gardens and lovely lawns

1 / 69

Back to Gallery

There's nothing wrong with city living. But sometimes all the concrete and steel is a bit much.

These three homes are inside the city, but include finely manicured lawns and gentle gardens that provide escape from the urban lifestyle.

Each of these homes has a different variation on the same theme, but all three are in such green settings that they may trick a visitor into thinking they're in true suburbs, or even a rural setting.

They can also be seen this weekend at open houses.

The first in the slideshow, a two-story, 2,270-square-foot home in Magnolia, almost looks like it's all alone in a wooded setting from some angles. It can be seen from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. See the full listing here.

Real Estate Media OS playlist

While the next home in the slideshow is clearly nestled between other homes, its setting in Laurelhurst is green and not without bushes and other greenscaping. This 2,680-square-foot home can be seen from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday. See the full listing here.

The smallest of the three, at 1,480 square feet, makes up with garden-like setting what it lacks in space at its Ravenna locale. The home will be open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. See the full listing here.
